Cricut When I Can: "You are the cat's meow" cat card for My mama

I decided to make anouther card using a die set called Be a Cat from Waffle Flower.

Would you like to see how I made this card using the Waffle Flower Be a Dog Die. Click here.

I started off by cutting out two of each.
I am making one card for my stash and one card to send to my moma.

For the cat I used the Stamps of Life Storm and Bubblegum ink and card stock.
I am using Taylored Expressions Blender Brushed to apply ink and shading to the cat.
I used my Cutter Bee scissors to trim of the pieces.

The left if no inked and the right is inked.
Inking brings some life into the cat.

I decided inking was not giving me the color I wanted to I direct to paper my ink and card stock pieces to get a darker color.
I am working on my Waffle Flower Grip Mat and a glass board.

The grip mat holds the card stock down and makes inking alot easier.

I leave the grip mat on the glass mat and put it in my rolling cart next to my paper trimmer.

I added some Sticky Tape to the back of the nose and added the cloud nose and the bubble gum nose.
It give a little dimension having the two nose pieces.

I am using some washi tape and a black marker to color the eyes.

I used some the Stamps of Life Powder Sugar card stock to cut out the whiskers.
I added a little Tombow Mono Liquid Glue to my glass craft mat and just dabbed a little glue to the back of my whiskers then applied them to my cat.

I believe the Scalloped Rectangle was a Retired item from Stampin Up.
The pattern paper came from a card kit from the Stamps of Life called Happy Thoughts Collection.

I am using Marshmallow card stock from Bazzill Paper for my card base.
The blue is from the Stamps of Life and matches the patter paper it is called Sky.
I rounded the corners with my We R Memory Keepers Punch Board.
